I'm just channel surfing and the remake of "The Omen" appeared. I've struggled through this remake before and managed to eliminate it from my memory until now. Seriously, what was the point?! There was no chance they could ever recapture the atmosphere of the original, and they didnt do anything with it other than just go through the scenes one by one. Real bone-headed stuff. I know the "Psycho" remake was even more of a scene-for-scene thing, but somehow that didnt offend me as much, even though it was still totally pointless.

Gus van Sant's Psycho remake. It was the exact same script, pacing, camera angles, edits, and even music for the most part. The only things different were 1) a scene filmed through a screen door instead of an open door frame, 2) Norman jacking off while peeping on Marion, and 3) you could briefly see Marion's vulva when she keeled over after being stabbed.

Total Recall starring Colin Farrell from last year has to be up there.

I got my ass to Mars: I refused to watch it, even though I like Colin Farrell.

I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that's why we were brothers- because you did, too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or half way across the world. The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Salute mi familia. You'll always be with me... And you'll always be my brother.
